KEY INJURIES

2016-09-08 -

RB Jamaal Charles, Chiefs Coming back from a torn knee ligament, he might not play much in the opener. Spencer Ware has the lead role for now.

WR DeVante Parker, Dolphins Parker’s hamstring issues have allowed Kenny Stills to pass the popular breakout pick on the depth chart.

WR Jordy Nelson, Packers His knee seems to be 100% after he missed last season. His presence makes everyone on the offense more dangerous.

RB Thomas Rawls, Seahawks He hasn’t seen much work coming off an ankle injury that ended his 2015 early. Christine Michael is listed as the starter.

TE Dwayne Allen, Colts A sore hip has limited his practice time, but look for the red-zone favorite to have a much larger role this year.

TE Zach Miller, Bears A concussion sidelined him for the entire preseason, but he has been cleared to practice and should suit up.

RB Matt Jones, Redskins His shoulder questions make it hard to know who’ll get touches. Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley also are in the mix.

RB Carlos Hyde, 49ers Hyde’s concussion symptoms present a problem for fantasy owners Monday night. Use other options if available.
